Since the Assembly has 64 members appointed by the government and only 45 deputies elected by the voters, the odds were heavily against Poto. Even so, he lost by only five votes. Chief Matanzima claimed a "clean-cut victory," but in fact he will take office with the uneasy knowledge that most of the Transkei's 1,400,000 Xhosa seem to be stubbornly opposed to Matanzima's program of strict racial separation, which he euphemistically calls "peaceful coexistence of the races...
